The demon flying in from the north fell to the ground like a bird with broken wings, but the demon from the south took the opportunity to swoop down. With a flap of his wings above everyone's heads, a large group of inferior demons poured down like a black rainstorm.
Several more huts collapsed with a crash as the lesser demons fell. Amidst the billowing dust, not only did lesser demons leap out from the ruins, but two hyena-like monsters also wagged their tails and crawled out as well.
"War Demon! War Demon! Remember Ancestor! Remember Ancestor!" Mr. Zuo screamed frantically upon seeing this.
Although there were only two war demons, the villagers' casualties increased rapidly after they appeared. Wang Yao saw Wang Xiaoxiao hiding in the ruins of a thatched hut, accurately shooting down the jumping demons with arrows.
Unexpectedly, the remaining mud wall of the thatched hut behind him suddenly collapsed with a "crash." Wang Yao didn't have time to save him. He saw a war demon with a blood-stained mouth emerge from the dust and smoke of the collapsing mud wall, leaving behind Wang Xiaoxiao's still convulsing body.
Wang Xiaoxiao's still-growing, immature body lay sprawled in the ruins of the thatched hut, his head a bloody mess, clearly severed and twisted unnaturally. He still clutched the bow tightly in his hand, the remaining arrows scattered among the mud and withered grass.
Only the War Gods can deal with the War Demon, but there aren't many War Gods in the village. Most of them are still guarding the secret passage defense line. At this moment, the inferior demon team, which has now joined the War Demon, is moving through the mountaintop as if it were empty. The leader of the disguise team was soon killed in battle right in front of Wang Yao.
Mr. Zuo was also besieged by the lesser demons. He had just swung his staff to drive away one of the demons that pounced on him, but another one took the opportunity to crash into his chest. The force was so great that Mr. Zuo staggered and fell to the ground. However, the lesser demon in his chest suddenly turned into a ball of flame.
Then, with a loud "bang," the burning demon exploded, scattering bursts of flaming fragments in all directions.
Mr. Zuo's chest also caught fire. He hurriedly waved his hand to extinguish it, but the flames seemed to be sticky. Not only were they not extinguished, but they also ignited his hands. Watching the flames burn his body in the blink of an eye, Mr. Zuo closed his eyes in despair.
After a long while, the searing pain in his flesh did not come. Mr. Zuo opened his eyes in a daze and saw Wang Yao standing not far from him, coldly watching the Dark Moon Village that had turned into a sea of fire.
He reached out to a villager whose body was engulfed in flames and who was screaming. Instantly, the flames on the villager's body transformed into a line of fire that shot into his hand, and in no time, the flames on the villager's body disappeared completely.
Wang Yao clapped his hands and walked towards the other villagers whose bodies were on fire.
With a sharp "snap," a war demon engulfed in flames collapsed with a whimper. It was Li Anyue, dragging her broken legs, lying on the ground with a bow in her hand, glaring hatefully at the war demon.
“Dark…Dark Moon…” Mr. Zuo stood up shakily and found that the evil demons that were originally everywhere had all disappeared, and only flames were burning wildly everywhere.
"You did this?" Instructor Tao asked in a deep voice as he brought a head that resembled a dog to Wang Yao's side.
"Hmm, my magic has been restored." Wang Yao nodded, his right hand stretching out continuously. As lines of fire appeared, the flames on the villagers' bodies were immediately extinguished.
"What kind of magic is this?" Instructor Tao asked in surprise, tossing the dog's head into a still-burning thatched hut in the distance. He had never seen such a fierce spell before, which wiped out all the ubiquitous demons in the blink of an eye.
"Fire control, that's what inferior demons fear most," Wang Yao explained. He quickly extinguished all the flames on the villagers' bodies. This method was taught to him by the Hunter; by drawing away the spiritual power of the Samadhi True Fire, the flames would naturally go out.
"Oh dear, will the fire spread into the secret passage?" Instructor Tao exclaimed in alarm when he saw the burning Deer Village at the exit of the secret passage.
"Take me down there quickly and take a look." Wang Yao also became nervous. Samadhi True Fire is not like ordinary flames. Even if an ordinary flame burns for a long time, it will burn an ordinary person to death. Even if these people of gods have strong physical bodies, their Samadhi True Fire is also very domineering.
Instructor Tao grabbed Wang Yao's shoulder, and Wang Yao felt himself fly up. Before long, they arrived at the secret passage defense line. Sure enough, the Samadhi True Fire was still burning there. Without saying a word, Wang Yao quickly extinguished the flames wherever he felt something that looked like a human figure moving.
The casualties on the secret passage defense line were not significant. According to the villagers guarding the last section, the demons were simply rushing upwards without engaging the guards in combat. So, apart from some burns, the guards did not suffer many casualties.
However, Old Man Ma still died in battle. It is said that he was attacked by a war demon. At that time, the inferior demons bit through the first line of defense, the Deer Fortress, and surged in. The war god guards behind him were busy shooting down the inferior demons and did not notice that a war demon had mixed in with the inferior demons.
By the time the War God's guards came to their senses and shot the War Demon, it was too late.
"I should go." After extinguishing the flames on Old Man Ma's mutilated body, Wang Yao looked at the dark night sky in the distance and turned to Instructor Tao.
The hunters will arrive soon, and he needs to leave as soon as possible. He has already managed to survive for four or five days, and he can't stay here to wait for death.
"You... with your immortal fire, perhaps we can even fight the Mad Demon! And... and Mr. Zuo, the matter that troubled you..." Instructor Tao looked at Wang Yao and stammered as he tried to persuade him to stay.
